Easter eggs

Easter eggs , By www.blognindi.site .

Looking for a mess-free way to dye Easter eggs? Martha Stewart has the hookup. All you need is shaving cream, food dye, and a muffin tin. Oh, and maybe a bunny apron for good measure!

Total Time: 45 Minutes, Servings: 15 Servings

Ingredients :

• Eggs, preferably white and not brown
• White (distilled) vinegar
• Cold water
• Dye ingredients (ideas follow, but feel free to follow your instincts and go all zany)

Instructions :

• To prepare the eggs, gently place them in a large pot and add enough cold water to completely cover them. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn off the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 20 minutes. Using a spoon, carefully remove the eggs from the water and pat them dry. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• To prepare the dyes, for each color bring 3 cups water to a boil in a large pot and then add 1 to 2 tablespoons vinegar and the dyeing ingredient for the desired color. Return the water to a boil. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Carefully strain the dyeing liquid into a bowl or wide-mouth jar, discarding the solids. Let the liquid dye cool. Repeat with each dyeing ingredient.
• To dye the eggs, when both the eggs and the dyeing liquid are cool, add an egg or two to each bowl of dye. Set aside, turning occasionally, until the desired hue is achieved. (Naturally, the longer you leave the eggs in the dye, the more robust the color. Depending on the desired color, the eggs may need to sit as little as a few minutes or as long as overnight.) Transfer the eggs to a plate lined with a paper towel or return them to their egg carton until dry to the touch. Originally published March 26, 2012.
